crisis farther down to the farm, we bring you the stories and developments that are rapidly changing the world. we live in time in that setting that i don't have to do as the task of fixing a war torn economy. counting the cost on al jazeera, ah, me midnight political drama and israel opposition party ford collision that looks set to our prime minister benjamin netanyahu. ah, i'm money, chris. this is out there. lie from day. oh, so coming up. sure line. can they be experts trying to contain the cell from a thinking ship that's causing it's worth my time? disaster. half the rest in nicaragua, prominent opposition, lead on

a potential challenge of the president is detained by police. and i and venus nasa . now the new missions to explore as close to the neighbor. ah, hello and welcome a last minute coalition deal by israeli opposition. parties look set to end prime minister benjamin netanyahu 12 year rein. yeah, le pete has announced piazza support needed to unseat israel's longest. serving leader is carla. she brings together parties from across the political spectrum including the palestinian israeli party, the united arab list. hold up the made reports from west jerusalem should be a be it was a phone call that yeah, your la pete formerly informed israel's president, 3 when river lyn, that he made it barely an hour before the deadline to form a government expired. the vigor she showed were long and tough, but in the end,

let bede managed to coupled together the government for change 8 parties ranging from the left to the far right, with little in common except the desire to as caretaker, prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and n 2 years, a political instability, for now the new government will 1st the far right the amine party leader enough that he bennett as prime minister, he is an advocate of illegal settlements expansion. and their next station, w e p is the one that told the president he had the mandate to form the coalition is not going to be the avenue. so for the next, at least the next 2 years. it's natalie bennett, lived a much smaller party, but became some sort of the king's make it going to be the time. and so for the next, the next, the next 2 years. so in many ways, this is the kind of the axis in the middle, the heart of the government and the relation between unit b and bennett. so in the

past, ups and downs are going to a large extent determines the stability of the government. but then you clearly sure couldn't have come together without the support from the most unlikely of political allies to the best. and it's like united arab list got the lead. however, i can just say an agreement with yellow p, like in former governments, we've agreed on many issues that were served interest of our upside and provide solutions pretty urgent problems or society faces in various field is a phrase for palestinian israeli. even though our best will not be part of the government accepting support from our best is a thorny issue for now. study bennett, with far right politicians, already declaring a government that relies on the support of a palestinian israeli block. next step is a vote of confidence by the method that should take at least a week. in the meantime, benjamin netanyahu a formidable political survivor,

who's also facing corruption charges will do is best for the coalition to break up . if not, he will become a relentless opposition leader, or that, that, i mean, you are in west jerusalem, said autocad is the washington bureau chief of could the daily newspaper. he says this coalition, how surprised many in israel this time around the slightest party really about emma. what about around was able to basically make this effort for bennett and the speed basically flow and really go, you know, all the way on almost all the way. you know. so it's very thing that because in that sense and we don't know what kind of deals they have made, would they joint their ability or with the best, we know that they have one security there with services. they want

a lot of things. the community of israel, how many commit citizens that we don't know what kind of a deal they can they come with the coalition. you look at all these a parties and they have all different agendas. it is almost a recipe for the total dysfunction. when you look at this and make up, it's a modeling collection. we know that the bennet is, it is a fierce settlement activity. was a leader and a little bit movement here with our to the right, the benjamin that anyhow. so know what that is not going to work with with other members of the coalition. so i believe or from 1st look, you can see that this coalition is probably different to fail. we'll probably see another political crisis and another election probably before then it's term and 2 years is up salvage experts running out of time to virt maritime disaster of sterling because coast

a large cargo ship containing chemicals has been burning for 12 days near colombo. it's where the police and surrounding waters and beaches, but if it thinks marine biologist say the oil leak would be devastating. charlotte, better reports after 2 weeks of burning, of sure lank is coast the in the express poll is sinking the vessel still home 350 tons of oil in its fuel tanks. if the navy and salvage experts can't keep it afloat, it will devastate the surrounding waters and marine life. the ref, it's on wednesday ended with the ship stern sinking to the ocean floor. may never, you know, not in there. it tells you if the ship thinks the oil and the ship will lead to the ocean and the beach and our fishermen will lose their jobs. we cannot allow that to . the in the express po was sailing from india to singapore carrying a load of chemicals in plastic when it caught fire last month, the ship was carrying nearly $1500.00 containers. many were destroyed in the fire.

others fell into the sea, polluting the water, and large stretches of sure lank as beaches. soldiers were deployed to clean up tons of plastic pallets that washed up on the coastline. the pallets themselves have already created one of the biggest environmental crises here in decades. these are really tiny and picking color and they look like fish it to a fish marine, but then animals and they inject them. and these can really, you know, talk the pollutants in the water and become really toxic. and these chemicals can leach out into the body marina and consume it. and if marine life is under threat, so we shall anchors fishing, industry authorities have already imposed a fishing band along 80 kilometers of coastline, affecting more than $5000.00 fishing boats. the ship is dealt the death blow to our lives. we can't go to the sea, which means we can't make a living. true,

lank as government has promised legal action to seek compensation from the owners of the singapore flagship. i love me. well, i guess you do in ballasa, you know, similar incidents have taken place in other countries. when that incident took place, those governments have taken states to get compensation. we hope to get compensation in accordance with marco and international law. we will never give up on the if it . the immediate concern is how to avoid a massive oil spill. that would turn this environmental crisis into a disaster, with the stern now stuck on the sea bed. how salvages plan to do that is unclear charlotte bellis, osha 0. as talked him anal fernandez, his lie for us in colombo madell. so this cargo ship has already started to think, i believe just bring us up to date with what's been happening. that's right, as you can see, the weather is not the greatest. it's not the most conducive to any sort of salvage

operation at the moment and there's more heavy rain focus. you can probably see over my shoulder, the kind of dark, angry looking rain clouds, which basically unleashing here with the warnings. but basically the m re polo the pearl express. container ship has hit the sea bed is what we heard yesterday. and now today, the navy has dispatched a team of 9 specialist divers. they are on site consulting with the salvages, who have basically their own salvage vessel, which is right next to the wreckage. and there has to be some kind of surface assessment. first of all, obviously as light briggs overnight to see what the situation is. the navy spokesman told me a short while ago, that one's this stuff as assessment is done. the navy di was, would then a sensually look at the bottom of the vessel to see the state,

the structure, the situation where things stand. and what's key is the vast amount of fuel that is believed to still be on board. yeah, that is the big worry now, isn't it that that the fuel tanks and the ship could possibly start leaking into the ocean? is there any sign that that could have started happening so far from the reports that we've heard from the graham this morning. we haven't heard any indications of a slick of any leakage of the oil, but definitely there's been of traces in terms. 2 of the fire that's been sort of raging on that board for 12 days. and we did see essentially when we visited the cost a little further down that there were traces of some sort of sediment, some kind of oil. but that hasn't been any major oil spill yet,

and everyone had and she lanka, and probably across the world. environmentalists are holding that bread and hoping for the best. but the outlet isn't that great. we heard officially that there was something like $320.00 tons of heavy fuel on board. now bear in mind that we don't know really whether that's exactly the amount that really was on board. one has to realize that, particularly in this kind of incident, the owning company is responsible for every single lead to fuel on board a vessel of this nature. and sometimes they might not be as honest as is needed regarding the payload of fuel. because obviously that also translates into compensation and things like that. but right now it's not a case of compensation. we heard the government minister talking of you know, not letting go and pushing compensation. but to be really honest, you speak to environmentalists. no amount of money can actually make up for the

sheer scale of environmental damage. the catastrophe that's going to be on a leash, on your lanka, it's already happening, and it's just a case of how much worse it can get. many thanks to that mcnelson and as far as live in colombo, the european union envoy coordinating talks on reviving the wrong nuclear deal believes that an agreement will be reached next week. indirect talks between iran and the united states about fully returning to the 2015 nuclear deal between 2. ron and major powers are expected to resume next thursday should have been taking place since april. nicaragua, police have rated the home off the opposition leader christiana to morrow, placing her on the house for us. she was expected to run the presidential elections in november. now the organization of american states and human rights watch a warning president daniel ortega is trying to eliminate competition ahead of

presidential elections. our last in america edison. lucy newman, has this report carloads of riot police, arrived at nicaragua and opposition leader christiana, tomorrow's house. with the search and arrest warrant was pushing, waiting, journalists, and family members away. unexpected rate on her home spunk immediate condemnation at home and abroad. ortega should understand that he sanctions to grab our and to ensure himself as the faith of mika our, for the rest of his life, is not. it's not an option. what is at stake here is the credibility of the bite and ministrations commitment to the lever protection. for fundamental rights freedoms, protecting democracy in latin america. the us secretary of state anthony blinkin,

who was a neighbor in costa rica as the raid was underway, treated that the warrant reflected, quote, ortega's fear of free and fair elections. on the number of this week, the pro government prosecutor had charged moral nicaragua, the most competitive presidential candidate with alleged money laundering and would be termed as ideological deviations. she did not is all charges. i can get him on that for morning and they're trying to fabricate him a com trial. she said, i was going to other candidates in november's presidential election have already been jailed and to opposition parties band, which i'm more of the daughter, a former president lead tomorrow, and a visitor parking chair model. a newspaper publisher who was assassinated by nicaragua was former samouce, a dictatorship, is the most high profile target of the latest government crackdown. after more than

5 hours, the government put her under house arrest, leaving the police to guard her home. they are trying to prevent a democratic, peaceful way out of all crisis. the alternative is one that will not end while the decision not to take him off to prison, could reflect growing international pressure on president daniel ortega and his wife and vice president ro, side your. but the big question is whether that will be enough to guarantee a competitive election in the trouble torn central american nation. the see and human algebra era fill ahead on al jazeera, the columbia, and the streets again to pose government policies as, as continue to calm us secretary of state, anthony lincoln came here to central america to talk about climate change, security and migration. among other things, people here on the streets have more pressing concerns, primarily

a surgeon corona virus. i'm gabriel's ongoing san jose costa rica, that story coming up a ah, it's time for the journey with sponsored by cut on airways and load their hot and dry conditions continue to dominate. across the middle east. the gulf states are seeing temperatures climb saudi arabia, in particular, seen temperature is above average 44 degrees in riyadh. and it's a similar story for iraq. 47 degrees in baghdad, but have a look at q 8 as we go into the next 2 days. temperature is edging up to 50 degrees celsius, so some pretty intense heat on the way things are looking cooler as we edge towards the south. oman, scene temperatures, dip down musket, nestling into the mid thirties as we move to the horn of africa,

things are looking rather cool across somalia and d. c o p, and some showers affecting the ethiopian rift valley. but for the wet weather we have to look to the gulf of guinea as we go into friday. nigeria, seeing some of those rather intense showers, but the wet picture really is in south africa that eastern coast seeing a weather system that is bringing with it some wet and windy conditions and that'll affect southern areas of mozambique. we could see some localized flooding here, where those down pools aren't particularly heavy. for the western coast of south africa, things are cooling. we've got a wind from ag, dr. kerr, keeping things cool. sponsored pay cut on airways. be part of the debate itself defeated and cozy in the us or in the u. k, because it will just come back again when no topic is off the table. what we wanted to talk about were these men with white men touching a loud and clear dream, where

a global audience becomes a global community, jumping to the comment section, and part of those discussion there are like kinetic efforts to silence fell opinions on the online page on al jazeera, ah, ah, the me. watching out 0 mind the top stories, the, our israeli opposition lead a yeah. he'd have informed the president. he has the support to form a new government ending benjamin netanyahu is 12 years in power. right wing leader, natalie bennett's will be prime minister 1st followed by law p. 2 years later.

israeli coalition brings together 8 parties on this one, the support of the palestinian as ready party the united are blessed. the deal still needs a parliamentary boats before the government is worn in. a cargo ship is sinking off the coast of sri lanka threatening and ecological dissolved. the court fire 2 weeks ago and it's filled with several 100. tell me, we'll now says announced to new missions, both of them to venus, which is us nearest planet st. k. but they will be the 1st us lead mentions to venus atmosphere in all 3 decades. europe space agency put a spacecraft around around there in about 2006. well nasa hopes to map its rocky surface and uncover if the solar systems hottest plants ever have an ocean. the 2 robotic missions expected to launch between 20282030. we hope these missions will further our understanding of how the earth evolved and

why it's currently habitable. when others in our solar system are not planetary science is critical in answering key questions that we have as humans like, are we alone? what implications beyond our solar system? could these 2 missions have nasa scientists and my gosh, join me now from washington d. c. many thanks for speaking to us and i'll just, sarah, what was your reaction when you heard about these missions to venus? so it's a fascinating development. i think. when you think of nasa, we think of mars and mars landings, but we often forget that there's another, another neighbor which is green us and it's a fascinating planet. we know they did love. so the temperature on venus is more than $300.00 degrees centigrade. the surface temperature it is still volcanic, really active, it is still tick. tock picked on equally active,

very interesting. the there was a signature of a gas called fuss feed, which might be the hint of possible life on venus. so this whole announcement of 2 mission mission, so the 1st fish and we'll just go through the atmosphere and then measure various characteristics at various today and looked at most of them. finally, before crashing will take a picture of the surface. and the 2nd mission is going to go around venus and take pictures of the surface and about the surface in detail. so i think it's very exciting and i think right at the end of the deck in 20282030 range. it will change our understanding of venus, and the other interesting, very interesting part of us is see on order to lean house effect up. venus might be a case where the house effect happened to absolute conclusion. so the on the carbon

dioxide is less than point one. percent on venus, it is 96 percent. so it might be what ought we look like if the effect went into a runaway mode? this mission actually helps us better understand earth. is that right? absolutely it, it, it helps us do the climate modeling as to why did the earth turn out to be, it did why? i did mars for example, but why did bars lose all that was, it was just like, have had oceans had water, had probably rivers and as well. why did it lose its water? and st for venus, we will know what, what does it and venus that cause the struggles gunnery retails effect and could it happen to not as well? and what is then the difference on venus to mars?

because as you say, there has been a loss of focus on mars, a lot of missions to mars, but now we're focusing on venus. what can we learn from venus that we haven't learned from mars? see, it's a very different the mars is, does not present volcanoes on mars. and venus, it's, there are explosive bulk. and as a, as we speak mars on the surface is very cold. here it is more than the bonding point. so more than $300.00 degrees centigrade, so at the very different planets, the gravity of ot and mars are ready off mars and venus are of the same order. so it is knowing 2 different n members on, on mars, be know it last year for a specific set of reasons. it could be very interesting to know that whether the both for on been us for example, was like the most funeral and then something happened. and the concentration of

carbon dioxide increase spectacularly, and then it became a very hot planet. very interesting how challenging a mission is it to carry this out? because as you say, it's incredibly inhospitable climate. it is a very challenging mission into the just because the temperature of the so high and the suck tunic acid in that was driven by the 30th. so it is a very the spacecraft has to be very well built, particularly this has to fall through the atmosphere to be able to measure it. so it has to be very well insulated. the spacecraft very well tested, but you know, that's what has done harder to have gone to saturn, but it's silly to have gone to mercury with messenger. and so, so there is a mess. i have a track record to be able to do this, but it doesn't take away from the fact that, you know, for example,

it would be very hard to land something on venus can you, can you imagine at 350 degrees centigrade, how hot it is could you landon have all your electronics working right so, so it is going to be difficult on the top of course, really, really interesting to talk to you a time ago. speaking to us that from washington dc, he is a nasa scientist. thank you for your time. absolutely, my pleasure. us, as you say, anthony blanket has wrapped up his 2 day visit to costa rica where the focus was mostly on migration. but as gabriella alexander report from san jose, most costa ricans have more pressing concerns right now. and diplomacy with the u. s. coaster rica is witnessing a cooper. 19 crisis. the number of infections more than doubled last month 267000. and the number of deaths 810, was the highest since the start of the pandemic. a 2nd, colbert wave,

worse than the 1st is keeping away most tourists who usually flocked to this country. and for jimmy hernandez, a band driver and tour guide that is meant he said little to do these days in order tourism right now, because of the pandemic has gone down almost 40 percent, it's affecting almost every one some days. we can't work other days, we can. so it's affecting us a lot. people say the situation everywhere is bad. and so many places a close like businesses, so many people can't work and i'm unemployed. so this pandemic is so difficult how it's affecting people financially, costa rica as a country of 5000000 people. of those only 11 percent have been fully vaccinated. and well, that might not seem like a lot compared to most other countries in central america. it is according to a pan american health organization,

the percentage of people fully vaccinated in el salvador is just a little lower. but then that figure slips to just under 8 percent in panama, and the rest of the region lags way behind in belize. it's just 2.6 percent of people fully vaccinated. ponderous, 0.4 percent water mala, 0.2 percent. and nicaragua, we're statistics are unclear. it's believed almost no buddy from the public has been fully vaccinated. the united states has promised to make 80000000 vaccines available globally. good morning, everyone and one of the us. but in his visit here, this week, the secretary of state antony blinking, said it would be another 2 weeks before details can be announced in central america to help can't come fast enough. gabriel's bondo al jazeera san jose goes to rica unions in columbia, taking part in another strike the countries the massive anti government

demonstration. since april, the president even decay has deployed ministry for the city of cali off at least 3 people were killed in increasing a fine and stand off the protest initially found by over tech support. alexander, i'm here in the capital. he says, roddy, is that all the smallest bins purchase. again, these are the 1st sign of fatigue that we've seen. i'm part of the protesters that have been coming out practically daily. they usually responded massively to the call of the protests, the leaders of, for the faith of strike. this hasn't been the case again. i live here in the capital bogo tab. there either gatherings called for later in the day, but it's clear that the more than a month came to the process, people are beginning to feel some fatigue or feeling tired of being out

every day have confronting the police of having dealt with so much violence. so part of the police response time, also from some of the protesters and all of this is happening at a time when the negotiations between the leaders of the processor and the government are not moving forward despite reaching a pre agreement that they with they have called now more than a week ago on the security guarantees, the protesters are demanding to start form on the go. she ations with the government, the government agreed to that, but never signed that document yet because he, they are requesting that all the roadblocks that, that remain in place in the country, especially in the south and south west of columbia that have had a big consequences in terms of shortage, it need to be lifted for those stocks to to begin at least

a $136.00 students are still missing in nigeria, often on group attack to a slum at school into gina and the state of new jersey on tuesday. one person was killed and another critically injured parents have been reunited with some of the younger children who are released. security intelligence forces are still searching for all those facilities. mount aetna has continued a series of recent robson, sending plumes of ash up to 6 kilometers above sea level. lava fountains have also reach heis about to 400 meters. there was no impact on operations of the nearby catania international airport at the is your largest active volcanoes? ah, these out there are these, you told stories, israeli opposition leader. yeah, yeah. lockheed has informed the president. he has the support to form

a new government. and then benjamin netanyahu is 12 years in power. right wing leader, natalie bennett's would be prime minister fast followed by le pete 2 years later.
